if you are or have been using aquaphor (eucerin) for cradle cap how and how much did you use? I have some of the lotion at home and would like to try and see if it helps. tia

    I love Aquaphor but I didn't use it for cradle cap.  DD has long hair (for her age) and I just couldn't see that working very well.  I used olive oil instead.  I let that soak into her scalp for about 15 minutes and it really loosened up the flakes, it worked really well.

    I've used it and it's pretty nasty. Be prepared to wash with shampoo a good 4-5 times to get it out. It did help though- but I prefer baby oil instead. GL :)

    Don't waste your time. Aquaphor is great for dry skin btu it didn't do anything for DS's cradle cap. It just made his hair a greasy mess for about a week.

    I just used Selsun Dandruff Shampoo on DS 2 nights ago and it got rid of about 90% of the cradle cap.  I had initially lathered his head with lotion (Aveeno Baby) and let it sit for about 6 hours and then I rubbed his head vigorously with the rough side of a baby wash cloth with the shampoo for about 10 mins.

    Be careful with dandruf shampoo though it made DS's skin so rough and dry.

    That's what I figured so I guess I will stick with the baby oil - didn't work great but it helped some...
